After having herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) for over a year, the shedding rate can vary from person to person. Generally, most individuals with established HSV-1 infections have lower shedding rates compared to those who are newly infected.

It's important to note that asymptomatic viral shedding can still occur intermittently even after one year of infection. The frequency and extent of shedding may depend on various factors such as your immune system strength, overall health status, stress levels, and other individual characteristics.

To get a more accurate understanding of your personal shedding rate for HSV-1 after one year since diagnosis, it is recommended to consult your healthcare provider or an STD specialist. They can provide personalized guidance based on your specific situation and medical history.
